configure a maximum of 16 mesh cluster profiles on a mesh node. Refer to "Profiles > Mesh > Cluster" on page 93. Profiles > Mesh > Radio The mesh radio profile allows you to specify the transmit power and set of rates used to transmit data on the mesh link. Perform these steps to create or edit Mesh Radio profiles. 1. Select Profiles > Mesh > Radio in the Dell PowerConnect W Navigation pane. 2. Select the Add button to create a new Radio profile, or click the pencil icon to edit an existing profile. The Details page appears. Complete the settings as described in Table 28: Table 35 Profiles > Mesh > Radio Profile Settings Field Default Description General Settings Folder Top Name Blank Other Settings Maximum Children 64 (1-64) Maximum Hop Count 8 (1-32) Heartbeat Threshold 10 (1-255) Link Threshold 12 (1-255) Set the folder with which the profile is associated. The drop-down menu displays all folders available for association with the profile. Enter the name of the profile. Use this field to indicate the maximum number of children a mesh node can accept. The supported range is from 1 to 64. Use this field to indicate the maximum hop count from the mesh portal. The supported range is from 1 to 32. Use this field to indicate the maximum number of heartbeat messages that can be lost between neighboring mesh nodes. The supported range is from 1 to 255. Use this setting to optimize operation of the link metric algorithm. Indicates the minimal RSSI value. If the RSSI value is below this threshold, the link may be considered a subthreshold link. A sub-threshold link is one whose average RSSI value falls below the configured link threshold. If this occurs, the mesh node may try to find a better link on the same channel and cluster (only neighbors on the same channel are considered). The supported threshold is hardware dependent, with a practical range of 1 to 255. 90 | Dell PowerConnect W Configuration Reference Dell PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2 | Configuration Guide

Other Settings
Maximum Children
(1-64)
64
Use this field to indicate the maximum number of children a mesh node can accept.
The supported range is from 1 to 64.
Maximum Hop Count
(1-32)
8
Use this field to indicate the maximum hop count from the mesh portal. The
supported range is from 1 to 32.
Heartbeat Threshold
(1-255)
10
Use this field to indicate the maximum number of heartbeat messages that can be
lost between neighboring mesh nodes. The supported range is from 1 to 255.
Link Threshold
(1-255)
12
Use this setting to optimize operation of the link metric algorithm.
Indicates the minimal RSSI value. If the RSSI value is below this threshold, the link
may be considered a subthreshold link. A sub-threshold link is one whose average
RSSI value falls below the configured link threshold.
If this occurs, the mesh node may try to find a better link on the same channel and
cluster (only neighbors on the same channel are considered).
The supported threshold is hardware dependent, with a practical range of 1 to 255.
